It's the coaching and fitness team here that deserve the plaudits where Albrighton is concerned, plus the guy himself. Completely different player to the backup we nabbed on a no risk bosman. Surely it's not about unearthing a hidden gem. It's identifying a player that can come in and do well immediately, or be improved on. Checking out their personality and how they can progress. Whether they're under everybody's nose or hidden in Tahiti, it doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I remember an article in which Steve Walsh said Albrighton was a statistical favourite as he was near the top of the division for chances created per minutes played or something which was what originally piqued our interest and then he went to watch him and saw he had the work rate too. And no other PL team were after him, he'd just come back from a loan spell from the Championship. I agree with what you're saying, much of it has been the coaches and player himself, but the scouting team still managed to see a player who was contributing a lot when he was playing even if it was 2nd choice and saw he was worth keeping in the PL when no one else wanted him and it looked like be could be heading down to the Championship.

WigstonWanderer Posted 14 July 2017 Share Posted 14 July 2017 Hard working player whose confidence seems to be growing along with his quality. Best of all a fantastic attitude that must be just what's needed in the dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 14 July 2017 Share Posted 14 July 2017 I just love Mark, He's like the mailman he always delivers, and is a managers dream. I'd really like to see him play on the right with Mahrez where they could tear defenders apart between them. I'd always remember the calm way he took his goal against Seville. A top quality Goal in a very high pressure environment. He's a class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both consumate professionals though sadly I fear that the latter won't be with us next season. I would however wish luck with his career as he's been a dedicated professional for us. With DeG asking now reported as asking for a move the Schmeichel situation look perilous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 14 July 2017 Share Posted 14 July 2017 Cracking lad and very humble. Remember when he was in a real vein of form and was interviewed afterwards and seemed genuine when he said that he would understand if he wasn't first choice in the next match.
